Fang Yuan understood that obtaining the system, becoming a mercenary, and finding his own "lord" was his adventure! It was the beginning of changing his destiny!
He must seize this opportunity and become the most powerful warrior under the command of the "Lord"!
As for the judgment that the "Lord" has many powerful warriors under his command, it is inferred based on the analysis of system numbers and mercenary numbers.
In addition, the word "soldier" cannot be just one person; it must be a group of people. The word "mercenary" has the word "soldier" in it, so it naturally refers to a group of people.
Just like the soldiers and warriors in this world, although they are all soldiers, warriors are much stronger than ordinary soldiers and have more rights and obligations.
Since I have become a member of the mercenaries under the command of the "Lord", I naturally have to become the most powerful one to repay the "Lord" for his kindness!
"Also, I'm number 003, which is also an advantage. This means I'm the third mercenary recruited by the lord. I should work even harder to complete the mission, train diligently, and take advantage of my initiative. Only then can I hope to become the lord's most powerful warrior. Even if I can't become the most powerful warrior, I must be someone who is useful to the lord!"
Born into a warrior family, Fang Yuan, who was nurtured by the virtues of a warrior family, had a clear goal in mind and became an ambitious Fang Yuan, which made Fang Yuan feel like he had been reborn. He felt that his previous self was muddle-headed and had lived in vain.
The self now, the self with direction, the self with hope, the self with a "master", is the real self!
Wei Yuan lived up to his reputation as a genius. After nearly a year of training, he had a very solid foundation and quickly killed the zombies.
Fang Yuan did not try to snatch the monster, nor did he attack Wei Yuan. He did not even show up. After taking a look at the heavily breathing Wei Yuan, he stood up and left, scouting around for lone zombies.
Wei Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief after Fang Yuan left.
"Someone was watching from the side just now. I don't know who it was. But, they probably saw that there was no chance of success and left."
Leaving the water fort and landing on land, the most dangerous thing is not the scattered zombies, but other humans. Those despicable and evil people who are timid in front of zombies but have the courage to hunt others.
As for high-level zombies and groups of zombies, they are naturally the most dangerous, but such disasters are rare. Wei Yuan has lived in the Gu family water village for more than ten years and has never encountered one.
From what I heard at the training camp, the most dangerous thing after landing wasn't the zombies, but other humans. It was the wilderness bandits who specialized in hunting down zombies and other humans, and the powerful zombie hunters who had no morals or lords and were only interested in profit!
Even if they weren't specifically hunting humans, other corpse hunters, if they saw someone in a vulnerable position, wouldn't stop them from taking advantage of the situation and playing the role of a wilderness bandit, killing and stealing their property. The property here mostly referred to fangs as hard currency, precious food, weapons, and equipment.
Anyway, there is no lord to restrain them, they don't need to consider the lord's reputation, nor do they need to uphold the honor of a warrior. They do such immoral things without any sense of shame.
"These corpse hunters are all mad dogs, going crazy without anyone to control them." Wei Yuan cursed inwardly, drinking water in big gulps, eating barbecue, and recovering his strength.
Fang Yuan found a lone zombie, killed it, and completed another mission.
Seeing that he had gained another 22 contribution points, Fang Yuan immediately exchanged for the "Basics of Archery".
"Sure enough, you need a bow and arrow to practice?"
Although he didn't have the conditions to practice now, Fang Yuan didn't regret it. Everything he did was to restore the glory of his family and for his "lord."
"I believe the lord also needs archers."
Although the training and combat of archers consumes a lot of resources, it is undeniable that archers are indeed a very powerful type of troops that any ambitious lord needs.
"Hey, another mission has been posted." Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Fang Yuan knew he had to go back. "Looks like there's no end to the missions. Let's go back now. The zombies are much more active at night than during the day."
The zombies fear water and hate sunlight. Therefore, the survivors live in water forts, large ships, and islands far from the mainland. Therefore, only during the day are the zombie hunters and warrior candidates active.
At dusk, all the living corpse hunters would rush back to the water village.
This was Fang Yuan's first time out corpse hunting, but he had already learned all the common sense. Not wanting to waste time, he rushed back.
We finally returned to the dock before it was completely dark and the water fort retracted the drawbridge.
"Wei Yuan? I met him again."
Fang Yuan glanced at the exhausted Wei Yuan, then compared his own condition, realizing that this was all thanks to the nutrient solution and healing solution.
"Fang Yuan, you're also going to the zombie hunt?" Wei Yuan asked in surprise upon seeing Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan had been his neighbor before he moved. Although they'd only spoken briefly, they were acquaintances. They'd both participated in the selection at the same time. Wei Yuan had been chosen and left, but Fang Yuan hadn't been, and remained in the slums.
"Wei Yuan, yes, are you undergoing the warrior trial?" Fang Yuan seemed to have seen Wei Yuan for the first time today. He answered first and then continued.
"Yes! I have completed my training as a warrior apprentice. Once the trial is completed, I will receive the inheritance of combat skills and the corresponding resources, and I can be promoted to a warrior."
Wei Yuan had been concentrating on training for the past year and rarely interacted with people of his age. That was why, after the trial, he met his childhood neighbor, and although they were not acquaintances, they started chatting.
In reality, Wei Yuan just wanted to show off to someone. A stranger like Wei Yuan, a neighbor he had barely spoken to, a loser from the selection process, a peer, was exactly the person he wanted to show off to.
Becoming a warrior! This is a hurdle. Once you jump over it, you are a warrior, a noble, and a member of the privileged class.
Before the Corpse Demon Plague, warriors were monopolized by warrior families, like Fang Yuan, who was said to be from a warrior family. However, during the Corpse Demon Plague, all the warriors of the family were killed in battle, and the number of lords and other noble warriors was greatly reduced.
He led the remnants and survivors to escape to the water stronghold, but the population dropped sharply. The previous method was not enough to fill the gap in warriors. He had to disclose the training method of warriors that was monopolized by the warrior family, giving people like him who had been servants for generations a chance to become warriors.
Moreover, he was indeed talented. If he succeeded, he would become a glorious warrior and elevate his family to the rank of nobles.
Fang Yuan was the complete opposite of him. He used to be from a powerful and prosperous warrior family, but now only the elderly, weak, women and children were left. He was removed from the warrior family and could only live in the slums like them.
